Oklahoma School Readiness Reach-by-Risk Report, 2015

The Oklahoma School Readiness Reach-by-Risk Report 2015 serves as the second publication in the series and updates data published in 2014. The Report is intended to provide policy makers and other early childhood education stakeholders with the most current data available on multiple school readiness risk factors across multiple domains, and the reach of services provided in each of the state's 77 counties. This Report is a continued effort to highlight counties whose children are at the greatest risk of starting kindergarten unprepared to learn, and counties that are underrepresented in terms of quality early childhood education and child care services. This report is divided into two main sections, Risk and Reach. The Risk section consists of an analysis of nine socioeconomic and demographic indicators found by empirical research to increase a county's risk for poor school preparedness. The Reach section assesses the county-level service density of six early childhood programs and services designed to contribute to the cognitive and social-emotional development of young children. This Report provides current data on factors that place children at risk of being unprepared for school compared to the reach of several services and programs that promote school readiness. New for 2015 is the analysis of changes in risk and reach classifications between 2014 and 2015, including risk rank percentile changes.

《2015年俄克拉荷马州入学准备（school readiness）风险覆盖报告》是该系列的第二份出版物，更新了2014年发布的相关数据。本报告旨在为政策制定者及其他幼儿教育利益相关方，提供当前可获取的最新数据，涵盖该州77个县的多领域入学准备风险因素，以及各项服务在各辖区的覆盖情况。本报告延续此前的工作方向，重点凸显两类县域：一类是儿童入读幼儿园前未做好学习准备的风险最高的县，另一类是优质幼儿教育与保育服务供给不足的县。报告分为“风险”与“覆盖”两大核心板块。其中“风险”板块基于实证研究，选取九项社会经济与人口统计指标，分析其对县域入学准备不足风险的影响；“覆盖”板块则评估了六项面向幼儿的早期儿童项目与服务的县域服务密度，这些项目旨在助力幼儿的认知与社会情感发展。本报告提供了儿童面临入学准备不足风险的相关因素的最新数据，并对比了多项促进入学准备的服务与项目的覆盖情况。2015年版新增了2014至2015年间风险与覆盖等级的变化分析，包括风险排名百分位的变动情况。
